Which is worse to have Sustained or Non-sustained Ventricular Tachycardia?
Ventricular tachycardia lasting more than 30 seconds is called sustained and that which stops before that is Non-sustained. Of course, non-sustained is better than sustained. The need for ICD depends on other factors which only your doctor can decide.Truly this question is a little beyond the scope of friendly advice. In any case simply from the English language one would imagine that non-sustained would be preferable to sustained.
It sounds like your body is struggling with a number of negative factors so anything to improve your general health would be a step in the right direction.
